Real numbers, before you commit.

Fixed price
MVPs from $7,500
Full products $18,000–$55,000+

- One agreed price, agreed before we start
- Milestone-based payments tied to what you can see
- Change requests priced openly, never assumed

Pricing questions
What buyers ask about the numbers.
Because our team is based in India, not because we cut corners. You get the same engineering standard at roughly half the loaded cost of a local hire, the entire reason companies build offshore in the first place.
They're honest starting points, not hidden ceilings. Real numbers come after a short scoping call, but we put the estimate in writing before you commit to anything, and we don't revise it mid-project without telling you why.
USD by default, so US clients budget in their own currency. EUR and GBP are available on request. No conversion surprises on the invoice.
Fixed price if you know exactly what you need. Time & materials if the scope will evolve as you learn. A dedicated team if this is ongoing product work. Not sure? Tell us the problem and we'll recommend the one that costs you least.
